Changing Up Your Style

If you're creative you probably know how it feels to get yourself in a bit of a creative rut at times and to be a little fearful to try something new. For a while now I've noticed that I take more than one type of photo. I enjoy shooting whimsical and retro images (Simply Hue Designs) but I also love nature photography and photography with a nostalgic feel. For that reason, I decided to open a new shop on Society 6 where I can post photos that aren't in my usual vintage pastel vibe. In time I hope to sell some of my sketches and collages, too, but that's a ways down the road. ;)

I would LOVE to change my creative style .. Just for a little while. It's all about experimental fun I guess. I'd love to create more vintage, soft focus shots... Mine a quite sharp and textured usually. Change is good... Even just for a little while.Jennie. X

Vicki, I love these photos and the way you've put them together. Judging from your work, it never seems like you're in a creative rut! But I guess we all are from time to time. Maybe we actually need it - to rest our brains, allowing it to work by itself can actually work wonders. I've noticed improvements both in my dancing and my playing after breaks. My piano teacher always said: "Take a week off, but don't feel bad about it or it won't work!" I figure that the trick is not panicking or trying to force it when we don't get new ideas.

All the time! I like to do traditional, realistic drawing, creative stylized drawing and now I'm learning to sew and make things too. Sometimes I feel I should stick to one way of working and focus on that. I get bored though and like to do different things.
